Automatically generated phrases in TikTok video search bars are causing controversy. While the platform implemented these suggestions, determined by an algorithm based on user comments and searches, to increase search activity, it often features sensational, misleading, or unrelated information. This raises concerns about whether TikTok’s efforts to boost search activity may end up causing more harm than good. Several TikTokers have expressed their discontent with recommended searches as they have lack of control over the recommendations, which often end up being unrelated to their content or filled with gossipy and irrelevant information. YPulse’s Social Media Monitor report shows that more than three quarters of young people say they use social media platforms as a search tool for content, news, products, and more. (Business Insider)
